I could see the Israel conflict growing if they directly attack Iran. But even then it’s probably still limited to the Middle East and not a global conflict. The only exception to that would be if Israel used tactical nukes in Iran. If they did that it might prompt Putin to use them in Ukraine. And if that happens, NATO would conceivably get involved directly. The bigger threat of global war is China, but I don’t see them wanting to go to war with us now.

Say you've got 2 high school kids trying to fight every day and every day all the teachers are trying to keep them apart. Then 1 of the teachers decides he wants them to fight and starts egging them on. Edited October 8, 2023 by reo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Following attacks by Hamas militants against Israel early Saturday, Republicans immediately rushed to social media and propaganda media networks to exploit the horrific situation to spread easily disproven lies to put the blame for the attacks on President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders. Almost in unison, Republicans repeated the same false talking points about the rapidly unfolding situation. The most common coordinated refrain from the right is a false claim that President Biden gave $6 billion is taxpayer money to Iran, and that this money is being used to fund the attacks on Israel (it is suspected that Iran and Russia could be linked to these attacks). This was echoed by Donald Trump, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump Jr, Sen. J.D. Vance, Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and dozens more Republicans. This is a lie. In September, the U.S. negotiated a prisoner swap with Iran, which involved the Biden administration unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian oil money that was being held in South Korea since 2018 in exchange for 5 American detainees. To be clear, this was Iranian money, and not a penny of U.S. taxpayer money was used. Moreover, not a cent of this $6 billion has been spent yet. And furthermore, the $6 billion is in a heavily monitored account in Qatar and the funds can only be spent on direct humanitarian aid. Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the U.S. Treasury Department, Brian Nelson, confirmed this stating, “All of the money held in restricted accounts in Doha as part of the arrangement to secure the release of 5 Americans in September remains in Doha. Not a penny has been spent. These restricted funds cannot go to Iran — it can only be used for future humanitarian-related purposes. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and misleading.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/republicans-launch-coordinated-lie-campaign-following-attack-on-israel/ar-AA1hQUrv?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=956e23f3282d432a9b098ad833cbdd5b&ei=15 reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Stop being a dumb hack. They want nukes and if you think some stupid agreement is going to stop them is idiocy.

And the laugher is he did it because he's a petty jealous buffoon with the temperament of a 13 year old girl.
